Guardian Funerals

Alison and Daniel did a wonderful job of looking after our mother . From our very first meeting Alison was loving and supportive, dealing with arranging a funeral in a dignified and professional manner. Daniel also being a pastor provided spiritual, emotional and counseling support to me in what was a very difficult time. The Chapel of Rest provided a calming and peaceful place to view our mother .Even though Guardian Funeral is a busy business , they still make time to see you and is more of a ministry to the people of Shipley than a Funeral Service.

If i could give 10 stars i would. After a traumatic experience with another directors, gaurdian came and saved the day. Alison is the most compassionate lovely lady i have ever met she gives the best hugs and at the hardest time in our lives she made it a little easier. She looked after my grandad like he was her own. Daniel delivered the service beautifully. As a family we cannot thank you all enough. Xxx

Guardian recently managed my Dad's funeral. Alison, Daniel and Jane showed care, compassion and understanding to me and my Mum and we had re-assurance every step of the way that this was going to be a send off that Dad would have been proud of. It certainly was, my Mum even commented "it was the best funeral she's attended - and she's been to quite a few!". Alison, Jane and Daniel take pride in what they do and provide a caring service at an affordable rate. It's the personal touch you need at such a difficult time and we'll always regard them as our friends. The rest of the family commented they'd want to use Guardian too! Thank you x

From the moment I picked up the phone , Alison has been wonderful. I felt so at ease straight away and I knew she would look after my mum , I also knew my mum would be happy that we had chosen Guardian Funerals to conduct my mum’s goodbye to us all. They made everything so easy , they were respectful and professional in everything they did. Daniel spent time to get to know everything about my mum and her life and he helped me write my own Eulogy to my mum to read out at the Funeral. The service was beautiful and all our family and guests were so impressed with the way it was all conducted, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Alison and Daniel to anyone who are wanting to organise a funeral for loved ones. I definitely want them to do mine. In fact I would go as far as to say if there was an award for the best funeral service in the world Guardian Funerals would win it hands down. Thank you so much both of you for everything you have done for us at such a testing time. All our love Kevin and Julia. X

Absolutely what we wanted from a funeral director, we could not have wished for a better experience and we are so lucky to have found Alison and Daniel. Everything was conducted with love, humour and respect and we feel blessed to have met them. It was the best service and eulogy I've ever been to and Daniel worked so well to understand our Mother. Alison was extraordinarily caring and professional throughout. A great team, highly recommended!

Where to start, I found Guardian funeral care online and spoke to Alison. I had absolutely no clue what i was doing but her care and compassion is second to none. She is genuine and caring and was there for us all from the start. The work she put in before we even decided that we were going to choose het as a funeral director was unbelievable. If there ever was someone made for this job it’s Alison. Most places are more bothered about profit but Alison fought for us from the start as we tried to arrange a repatriation to Sudan. The late night phone calls to update us and to just check if we were ok were truly appreciated. I can’t praise you enough to for everything you have done, I will be eternally grateful for all your hard work and the care you have showed my family. You were definitely sent to us for a reason. Thank you just doesn’t seem to cut it xx

Alison and Daniel are the most pleasant people I have met, they made my family and I very welcome and they treat you as though you are part of their family. Alison takes good care of you and more important Alison takes good care of your loved ones which for me is the most important part of their job. I personally recommend Alison and her team they are professional, compassionate and a true family business. Alison is with you every step of the way and they do not pressure you intro spending lots of money like some corporate funeral companies. Alison and Daniel thank you from the Offord and Elsworth families

A wonderful team of dedicated people who truly care about you and are compassionate, professional and honourable. During lockdown our wonderful mum sadly passed away and we were able to have a private, tailor-made service in Guardian's private chapel, much longer than any crematorium offer. We were able to have memorable songs and share memories with our family and friends in a very personal service and tribute to our lovely mum. Daniel and Alison took great care of our mum, s tayed in touch daily, honoured our wishes and supported us throughout and beyond the funeral arrangements and service. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I wouldn't want my loved one in anyone else's care, they are amazing at what they do and the world needs more people like them. I cannot recommend Guardian enough.

I would like to thank Alison and Daniel for the beautiful send off they gave my Dad, they were so caring and compassionate throughout the whole process, Alison was amazing such a lovely lady who truly cares for not only her clients but their families too, Daniel provided a heartfelt, beautiful service which my Dad would have loved and been proud of. I can't recommend them or thank them enough for what they have done for both my Dad and the family. Amazing family run business with empathy, caring and compassion at the heart of it.

What a wonderful, dignified send off Alison and Daniel gave my mother in law Marjorie.There weren't many at the funeral who had met her before, but when they left the cremataurium, they felt they had known her as a friend for ages. Alison and Daniels care of her while she was "in waiting" was sensitive and caring, as was their care of my husband and myself. I would recommend Guardian Funerals to anyone. I can guarantee that you and your loved ones will be in safe, sympathetic hands.
